From the Angle of the Bug
By REUBEN A. LEWIS
THE jinx, which has hovered
over tlie Baron camp from
the opening of the season,
continues to follow Birmingham.
Clyde McBride has been forced to
retire from the sunfleld with a
slight attack of malaria fever and
may be out of the game for sev
eral days. The sunfielder reported
for practice, quaky and weak and
was advised to retire to his bed.
Carroll, who has starred in the
utility role, relieved the stricken
player and exhibited his usual
cleverness. The utility youngster
has played every position except
pitch and catch and hopes to do a
little receiving before the curtain
falls.

Bill Plough dodged the usual re
action that follows a winning^
streak. Although Boehllng, Fallc
enberg and Covaleski were followed
by a hoodoo after registering thetr
long string of victories, the elong
ated Baron pitched an excellent
battle against the Pels yesterday
afternoon—his first since his record
.was brok,eh.
Prough has a wonderful record
and unless unforeseen results
occur, he h&a won the medal
for the leading twirler. Prougft#
has captured 21 battles and has
dropped but five. Covaleski and Ca
vet, who are closely In the rear
of Prough, must take several
games while Bill can twirl ordi
narily and win out.
• * *
When Barge William Mcailvray
» delivered tliat luscious . wallop,
which won the battle for Prough,
the fans applaued vigorously and
sighed for Bill's former swatting
During the last few games Mc
ailvray has hit in fine form and
Seems to be recovering from Ills
batting slump. Mack is getting ills
hit regularly.
Another star, who is suffering
an' off year, is also recovering.
During the past few games Jud
Daley has cavorted like a young
ster and has hit like a phenom.
Mcailvray is slugging over the
.......
.260 mark, while Daley is still hov
ering around the .240 mark. Both
were conceded to be sure .300 hit
ters when the campaign opened.
• * «
Moles worth was tickled over the ex
hibition of his newest recruit—Ery.
“Ery showed up exceptionally well,"
said Manager Molesworth, “in his first
battle against the Crackers. He
seemed to have a lot of stuff and
promises to develop into a winning
pitcher. Should, he do well, we will
finish right up in first division."
The new Baron appeared €>n first
base in the capacity of eoaeher. Ery
will not participate in the present
series with the Pelicans, unless a
pitcher is forced to retire under fir#-.
'In all probability he will open the
coming series with the Gulls, which
begins Monday. Ery seems to be a
Southern league performer.

The democracy of baseball was
evinced when the Woonsocket fans
honored their townsman—Joe Con
. nelly, outfielder of the Boston Braves.
Governor pothier, the mayor and 500
Ians recently journeyed to Boston,
presented the player with $500 and
cheered him with their most lusty
whoops.
When Connolly inhabited Woon
socket, he filled the rather obscure
capacity of milkman. Before dawn
broke, Connolly would mount a wagon,
deliver milk and then play ball in the
afternoon. It seemed somewhat ex
traordinary to witness the governor
shake hands with the milkman, the
mayor pat him upon the back and the
foremost citizens call him by his first
riame. But such is baseball.
• * •
Two former Barons are appearing
with tiie Pelicans. George Yantz re
ceived in the second game and stung
the ball viciously on several occasions.
The former Birmingham catcher still
show* the evidence of a broken leg,
but is putting up a good exhibition.
Although few recalled it, Roy Green,
who played right field, was a tryout
in 1911. When he appeared with Bir
mingham, it was in the capacity of a
moundsman. But heavy hitting con
verted Green from a pitcher to an out
fielder.
Yantz received rounds of applause j
v. hen lie entered the first game as a
pinch hitter and nearly proved instru
mental in depriving Plough of a vic
tory. He appears to be a little lighter
than he was when he played with Bir
mingham, but otherwise seems the
same. He will be first catcher as soon
as lie recovers from his injury.

BUT TEN REMAIN IN FIGHT
FOR THE SINGLES TITLE
JOHNSTON DEFEATED IN BRIL
LIANT GAME BY WILLIAMS.
M’LOUGHLIN AND CLOTHIER
WIN FROM OPPONENTS
Newport, R. I.. August 21.—Of the 14S
tennis players who entered the thirty
third annuul all-comers singles champion
ship tournament of the United States Na
tional Lawn Tennis association Monday,
there remain just 10 in the list tonight.
After a day of sensational contests, in
which the defeat of William M. Johnson
by R. Norris Williams was the feature,
It was conceded that the standard of play
had never reached the point of excellence
w hich marked the present tourney.
Williams required four sets in which to
win from Johnston, the scores being 6-3,
6-4, 3-6, 8-6, but the margin of victory was
far closer than the score of games would
Indicate. The Californian was forced to
now to the more finished play of ins op
ponent, hut not until he had put up a bat
tle which aroused another record gallery
in a manner seldom seen at the Casino
courts. It was a thrilling battle ot
racquets and wits and In the end tho
Philadelphian conquered because of his
experience and nonchalance under stress
of a gruelling contest.
Williams displayed Ills usual Indifference
to breaks In his game and played as
though according to a pre-arranged plan,
using a trifle more care and skill in dan
gerous pinches than ordinarily. It was
this facility that Anally gave him the
/ match. In service, volleying, hack court
and net play, he was little *f any superior
to Johnston, and it was his placement
alone that earned the victory. In nets and
outs he gave his opponent point after
point, but the skill that comes from long
play counted when It came to taking the
deciding ace at the end of a long rally.
| The summary and stroke analysis of the
i match, showing sets, games and points
won, nets. outs, placements, aces and
double faults follows:

Although the Williams-Johnston match
wus the grand court feature, the contest
| on other courts did not lack merit. As
| was expected. Champion M. E. McLough
lin defeated Robert Leroy in-straight sets
!and William Clothier likewise won from
W. L. Pate. Wallace Johnson and J. R.
Stracham also came through another
round, defeating respectively J. G. Brown,
Jr., and C. M. Bull, Jr. W. M. Wash
burn won from R. Evans, Jr., and Leon
ard Beekman eliminated F. W. Cole after
a hard five set match. The one upset of
the day was the defeat of G. P. Gardner,
Jr., by Nat Niles ht^our sets, reversing
the usual result when these players have
met heretofore.
In the interscholastic championship the
semi-finals round was reached with G.
C. Caner defeating W. L. McKim, and
J. C. Weber defeating William Blair. The
Harvard and Chicago scholastic title hold
ers meet tomorrow for the championship,
but the feature of Friday comes in the |
battle of M. E. McLoughlln and William
Clothier on the grand court. Experts
predict that the winner of this match will
next week be acclaimed the United States
champion of 1913.

Scurrilous first inning assaults netted
Birmingham three tallies in each com
bat and these tallies enabled Birming
ham to capture both battles, 3 to 1 and
3 to 0. While the Barons gained the en
tire output in the first round, New Or
leans was helpless before Prough and
Gregory in the pinches. Despite the
double victory, Birmingham gained
fewer hits than the Pels in each con
flict.
Opposed by Walker. Bill Prough won
the first battle handily though the Peli
cans threatened to surmount the lead
on two occasions. The Barons batted
timely in both of the opening innings,
but thereafter were downed by the Bird
fiingers. Gregory twirled for the Bar
ons in the second conflict and proved
more consistent than Recruit Steven
son.
Both battles were fought hard and
featured by fast fielding. Ellam scintil
lated in the first with brilliant plays,
while Gardner Kyle effec^d several
difficult captures in the latter fracas.
The Baron catchers watched the bases
with a keen eye and picked Pelicans
from off the sacks at critical stages.
.r linger Walker opened the first game i
with oodles of speed, but terrific drives I
by Marcan and McGilvray produced ■
three tallies and Bill Prough continued
his winning streak. Marcan tripled ,
down the right field line as an opener.
Messenger hit a slow bounder to Clancy
but before the shortstop could recover
after a fumble Bob reached first base.
Expecting an out, Marcan hugged third
base, but scored when McDonlad
forced Messenger at second with a
grounder to McDowell.
McGilvray Wins First
Knisely lined out to Green, but May
er singled over second base and Me- 1
Donald was checked at second. With
a mighty swing, Bill McGilvray lined
a sizzling drive over second base for
three bases and cleared the bases.
El lam failed to fathom Walker’s de
livery and McGilvray was left on third.
Walker checked the Barons to two
more safeties during the remainder of
the abbreviated battle, while Prough
weakened in the sixth and seventh. Be
fore the lustful Birds /grew dangerous,
Prough extended himself in safety.
In the sixth, the New Orleans con
tingent grew dangerous as McKillen
singled to center. By a freak play,
Kyle was robbed of a hit. With Mc
Killen on first, Kyle hit a low line |
drive to center, but it seemed as if
Knisely would capture it. McKillen
hovered near first base, while Knisely
trapped the drive and forced him at
second. Kyle made up for this de
ficiency by stealing second, and scored j
when Kraft singled after McDowell’s I
out.
In the seventh, the Pelicans waxed |
dangerous. Hendryx walked but did
not advance on following outs by
Clancy and Green. Adams singled to
left and George Yantz was substituted!
to hit for Walker. The erstwhile Baron !
delivered a line drive to Knisely and i
ended the battle.
Gregory Cops Second
Recruits Gregory and Slevengon
waged a pretty battle in the second,
but the Baron youngster was invincible i
in the pinches and scored his first i
shutout. While the Pelicans hit safely i
in every round, .save the fourth, Frank !
twirled in line style and triumphed.
Again the result of the first inning
decided the battle. The eventful rally
opened when Marcan singled sharply to
center field. Messenger was walked by
the speedy Stevenson, while McDonald’s
perfect sacrifice advanced both a \ase.
Knisely slashed a sizzling driva toward
the Pelican twirler, but the scorcher
ricochetted off the dazzled ilinger’s
shins, caromed past McDowell and
scored both Marcan and Messenger.
Knisely purloined second, while MeGllv
ray hoisted to McKillen. Ellam was
struck by an erring slant.
Carroll grounded to Clancy, who made
an easy recovery, but hesitated as to what
base he should peg. Afteh the other run
ners had reached their'destination, Clancy
threw low to first and Knisely^tallied.
Tn the third, Stevenson singled and
reached second, when Ellam bobbled, at
tempting to retain Marcan’s toss of Me
Killen’s fielder’s choice. Kyle took ad
vantage of McGIlvray’s faulty fielding and
readied first safely, filling the bases. With
Yantz retired, tlie Pels looked dangerous,
but. Gregory extended himself, striking
out McDowell and Kraft in order.
The seventh developed a dark outlook j
when,* with one out, Stevenson walked j
and reached second on McKillen’s single. ;
However, Clifton nipped the pitcher off j
second base on a pitch-out and the rally I
subsided.
Chubby Kyle, cavorting in center for
New Orleans, enacted the hold-up role,
when he captured seeming extra base
drives of McDonald and Knisely in the
second and third. McDonald starred at
third for the Barons in accepting several
hard hit drives.

FOREIGN ATHLETES WILL
ENTER U. S. EXPOSITION
1 Berlin, August $1.-Wam«s E. Sul
livan, secretary of the Amateur Ath
letic union, today obtained the prom
ise that a team of German athletes
would be sent to- San Francisco to
compete at the Panama-Pacific ex
position in 1916.
In return for this courtesy, it is con
sidered likely that the American team
which is to compete in the Greek Olym
pic games at Athens, in the spring of
1914, will make a trip to Berlin and
participate In the athletic meet there.
Representatives of France, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden and Finland
gave assurances to Mr. Sullivan during
the afternoon that their countries
j would be represented at the exposition
by teams of athletes. Hungary also
jWill probably send a team.
Berlin, Au^ist 21—The delegates also
showed a desire to exercise an inlluence
over future Olympic games by the ap
pointment of a "committee on Olym
pic games” under the chairmanship of
S. G. Moss.
The American delegates are President
Gustavus T. Kirby and Secretary .lames
E. Sullivan of the Amateur Athletic
union: Colonel Robert M. Thompson and
(Joseph B. McCabe. In the new federa-*
| tlon Mr. Hullivan^ls chairman of the
committee on rules and Mr. Kirby Is
a member of,committee on Jho deflint
tion of an amateur, which is under the
chairmanship of Franz Roiyhel of
France.
The federation will meet biennial be
ginning with a congress to be held at
Paris in 1914. It will he governed in
the Interim by a council composed of
seven members elected for four years.
The deliberations thus far have been
harmonious. Tidklish questions such
as penalties for false starts, the elimi
nation of walking events and umbidex*
terious shot putting as well us the defi
nition of tlifi amateur status have not
yet been reported.
The proceedings are being conducted
principally in English, the general In
ternational athletic language, and then
translated Into (Jerman for the benefit
of the few delegates who do understand
the English language.
